Baldur s Gate 3: Best Warlock Class Build

Blazer of Benevolence (11 AC + DEX, Light Armour, Uncommon): Given by Volo as a reward for rescuing him in the Goblin Camp, this gear gives players +4 Temporary HP whenever they use Bardic Inspiration to Inspire an ally.

The Conjuration School is arguably better as a multiclassing dip than it is as a standalone class, with Tempest Clerics and Storm Sorcerers both getting a lot of utility out of the ability to create water without spending a spell slot. This is especially true when making use of lightning charge equipment, with The Watersparkers performing exceptionally here. Players should grab The Sparkswall ring too so that the electrified puddles they create can't cause damage to them.

This section covers the best equipment for Great Old One Warlocks in BG3 across all three Acts. Some pieces from early Acts may still be powerful in later ones, though, and will remain equipped through several Acts.

At level six, Abjuration Wizards get the ability "Projected Ward," which allows them to spend points from their Arcane Ward to reduce the damage a nearby ally takes from an attack. At level 10, Abjuration Wizards get "Improved Abjuration," which allows them to increase the potency of their arcane ward when they take a short rest. After a short rest, their Arcane Ward's intensity is increased by an amount equal to their Wizard level. This can give them a decent amount of extra HP to work with when protecting themselves and their allies.

Either way, be sure to have Deception and Insight first and foremost. Deception is great for dialogues, and Insight is incredibly useful for determining NPC truthfulness. If Insight is already covered, then replace it with Arcana, History, or Investigation, depending on what you want your Warlock to be good at.

As an alternative to Markoheshkir, Wizards could use Woe, the staff wielded by Cazador , to gain +1 to spell attack rolls and spell save DCs. It also heals you whenever someone fails a saving throw against one of your spells and allows you to cast blight for free once per long rest. You can also steal the Staff of Spellpower from the House of Hope, gaining the same +1 bonus to attack rolls and spell save DCs alongside the ability to cast a spell without spending a spell slot once per long rest. For maximum power, consider picking up the Dual Wielder feat so you can use two staves at once.

The Oath of Devotion Paladin is fairly stat-hungry if players want to take full advantage of Sacred Weapon, so it doesn't pair very well with most other classes when compared to the other Paladin Subclasses. When it comes to gear, players will likely want to use a one-handed weapon and a shield, tanking for the Party and keeping enemy attention. The Blood of Lathander legendary Mace is a fantastic choice that will remain relevant for most of the game, and can be found towards the end of Act 1.

The three Drow cantrips – Dancing Lights, Faerie Fire, and Darkness – are all situationally useful, too. Faerie Fire, granted at Level Baldur's gate 3 circle of stars, is the most useful as it grants Advantage on all attacks against affected targets.

The Sage background grants proficiency for Arcana and History checks , and will typically trigger Inspiration when the Warlock engages in the magical elements of the world (like getting to Lorroakan's tower), or figuring out the historical significance of places in the world.

At seventh level, Oath of the Crown Paladins receive the ability "Divine Allegiance." This allows them to, as a reaction when an ally within 1.5m/5ft takes damage, heal that ally for 2 x Paladin level hit points in exchange for taking that same amount of radiant damage. This allows them to, essentially, take damage on behalf of other party members, giving them another way of serving as the group's tank. Finally, ninth level Oath of the Crown Paladins gain the spells Spirit Guardians and Crusader's Mantle. Spirit Guardians is probably one of the best offensive spells you could ask for on a Paladin, and Crusader's Mantle will make your allies deal radiant damage with their attacks too.

Oath of Vengeance Paladins will break their oath if they take actions that show mercy for the wicked or go against the greater good. An example of this would be raiding the Emerald Grove alongside the Goblins during Act 1.

At Level 3, Oathbreakers gain two additional Channel Oath Abilities, Control Undead and Dreadful Aspect. Control Undead allows Oathbreakers to gain control over an undead creature, allowing them to gain a temporary ally if the creature fails a Wisdom Saving Throw. Dreadful Aspect allows them to create a pulse that frightens nearby enemies that fail a Wisdom Saving Throw. They also gain the spells "Hellish Rebuke" and " Inflict Wounds " as additional prepared spells, allowing them to counterattack with fire and deal necrotic damage at a distance.

Additionally, learn one Cantrip from a select list of level 1 Cantrips.
